A cracking Christmas dinner at the Merlin, Swindon

Make it a Christmas Day to remember with four courses for £48.99

Presents are nice. Putting up decorations is fun. Seeing your friends and family is great. But the Christmas dinner? The Christmas dinner, done right, is truly a masterpiece.

Don't let the pressure of a perfectly-cooked turkey get to you this year. Get everyone out of the house and down to the Merlin, where we'll take care of the lot for you.

Start with a bit of bubbly, a glass of our Rocking Rudolph Ale, or a fittingly festive mocktail: the Spiced Red Berry Soda. Kick off with a delicious Baked Camembert – or maybe our Chicken & Smoked Ham Hock Terrine is more your speed?

Next up, the moment you've been waiting all year for. Maybe you like it traditional, like our Hand-carved Turkey with all the trimmings. But if you're keeping it veggie this year, our Cranberry Nut Roast is sure to deck your halls.

If your Christmas dinner isn't complete without something sweet, never fear – we've got plenty of proper puds to look forward to. But you'll have to take a look at our menus – we wouldn't want to give everything away, now, would we?

Finish up with a mince pie and a hot drink – the perfect end to a truly delicious day.

Festive Drinks

It wouldn't be Christmas without a glass or two to toast. So, our bar's fully stocked with all your favourites – from ice-cold pints of our very own Rocking Rudolph to our very merry Mulled Wine.

If you're in the mood for something new, we've got you covered. Try our Jack Berry Xmas, made with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Chambord and lemonade. Designated sleigh driver? We think you'll love our Spiced Red Berry Soda.
